SEASON TWO, PART ONE

On DVD and Blu-ray™ April 2

London, UK 8th March 2018 - Fear not citizens, because MY HERO ACADEMIA SEASON TWO, PART ONE is here! Enroll in a breathtaking new season of the action-packed anime hit when the new semester begins on April 2, with the series available on DVD and Blu-ray™ courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Featuring the first 12 episodes, dive deeper into FunimationNow's most simulcast show of 2017 and the world of heroes as our trainees face a trial more exciting and challenging than any exam - the U.A. High Sports Festival!

Based on Kōhei Horikoshi's New York Times best-selling manga from Weekly Shonen Jump, the iconic home of Dragon Ball Z and Naruto, MY HERO ACADEMIA is a coming of age story against the backdrop of a world where superheroes are not only real, but a viable profession. Izuku "Deku" Midoriya is one of the few born without a "quirk" power, but that won't stop him from enrolling in the prestigious U.A. High School to chase his dream of becoming the next symbol of peace, like his idol and mentor, All Might.

Class 1-A made a name for themselves after facing The League of Villains, but an even greater challenge is about to begin. These young heroes will now fight students from other classes in the world's biggest Quirk competition-the U.A. sports festival! With dreams at stake and friends turning to adversaries, Deku will give everything he's got in his grand debut as the world's next symbol of peace.

MY HERO ACADEMIA SEASON TWO PART ONE contains 12 episodes with an approximate run time of 25 minutes each and is rated 15.
